Sick Day

I am officially tired of:
Jay Leno/Conan O'Brien. Leno was gonna retire, but then decided against it. If I had been promised the old guys job but then he decides that he doesn't have anything better to do,I'd want $45 Million too.
Kasasa. What is it? I don't know but I'm tired of the commercials.
Pants on the Ground. It has been like 9 days and it is already the most over used thing of the year.
iPad. So it is better than the segway, penicillin, and hula hoops, and will SAVE THE WORLD, but couldn't they have come up with a better name?

So I don't know if any of that contributed, but I'm going to put myself on the transplant list. I need a new GI tract. What is my condition? I don't know for sure, but it sucks. I have recently discovered the joy that is heartburn. Oh yeah the deep seated pain that wont allow you to sleep at night? Fantastic!
That combined with the intestinal damage from drinking the water in a foreign land lead to a midnight rondezvous with greatness.
What is the antithesis of Nirvana? I'm not sure but it is a mystical balance of the pain, suffering and noise of sitting on the pot while holding a trashcan on your lap to contain the explosive evil trying to rip you in half from both ends.
My stomach ought to be charged with violating my constitutional rights.
I normally fight off the urge to vomit, but last night I decided to be zen like and go with the flow (I was going to lose the battle anyway).

what grinds my gears

The Cowboys stunk it up on Saturday. I gave up in the 4th quarter and turned it off. I'd been thinking about it since the 2nd quarter. Yes they won a post season game, but look, if someone gave me a billion dollar stadium, I might try to earn it.

Potty training is a necessary evil. It isn't going too badly, but trying to use logic with a 3 year old is pointless.

I had an instance where I was sent a thank you but we found a more qualified candidate e-mail. Ok that is fine, but to get that letter before I was even interviewed? It seems to me that If I am watching TV, I could be OK with my current station, or i could look around and see if there wasn't somehting better. You know? I mean I had a scheduled interview for the next day. Hey why settle without kowing whether there is something better.

So I am being squeezed out of my projects. And actually I don't know if it is intentional. The communication poblems here are crazy. And If I try to get information, I get in trouble. Look, if you want me do do busy work at a high bill rate, ok. You are the one who said you wanted me to learn some of this stuff, so if you do it by yourself, you haven't really trained me, have you?

I am a duck. (remembering to be a duck is hard)

Of course on the bright side, my 3 year old son now knows the proper use of the phrase "get a haircut, Hippy." I swear I'm not the one who taught it to him.

That's not exactly what I meant

I'm working on some old grant files at the office. I am going through them to check for completeness as they get ready for audit anc closeout.
I stumbled across some thing that mad me want to laugh and cry at the same time.
Have you ever heard some one say "Take a screen shot of that"? I have and it comes in handy when trying to describe a visual to someone. You take a screen shot, then paset it and e-mail it.
Well in this casee there was a series of pictures of a document. The person taking the pictures actually used a camera to take a shot of the screen. They then printed the picture and put it in the file.
The real kicker? they used a flash and the glare whites out the center of the screen.
